The Procedure

Mesotherapy is performed to actually melt away unwanted localized deposits of fat from your body. During the procedure, your doctor uses very tiny needles (about half an inch) to painlessly make multiple injections of the medications into the targeted area. For overall weight loss, your doctor might inject larger areas to cause a general dissolution of the fat over your body. When treating cellulite, one formulation of medications may be used to dissolve the fat and another to destroy the fibrous bands that bind the skin. In some cases, a special injection device may be used to deliver the injections.

Treatments average 10 sessions, spaced 1-2 weeks apart. Patients say the treatment feels like a small pinch. Some patients prefer to use local anesthetic cream applied thirty minutes prior to their treatment.

Mesotherapy is custom-tailored for each individual. Unlike surgery, Mesotherapy is virtually painless and has no downtime. It also consists of no heavy bandages, girdles, or anesthesia. Patients having Mesotherapy have no disruption to their daily life.

What About Cellulite?

Over 80% of women experience cellulite problems. Cellulite or dimples on the thighs, buttocks or abdomen appear to have little relations with life style. Even those who exercise are not immune to the problem. Cellulite usually impact women; men are rarely affected. A female’s skin is thinner, the orientation of collagen and elastin fibers are different. Hormonal changes play an important role.

What about side effects?

Side effects are limited because Mesotherapy is delivered directly to the targeted area. This reduces the possibility of drug interaction, and reduces the amount of medications required for each procedure. Since localized bruising is common, we suggest you discontinue blood thinners before your treatment.
